WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Joshua Bolten, the incoming White House chief of staff, wants Treasury Secretary John Snow replaced with someone who can present the administration's message more forcefully, The New York Times reported on Thursday.
Bolten, who takes over the top staff job next month, wants President George W. Bush to shake up his economic team and overhaul White House management, the Times said, quoting a prominent Republican who consults with the White House.
Among the names being mentioned to replace Snow were Henry Paulson, chief executive of Goldman Sachs; John Mack, chief executive of Morgan Stanley, and Richard Parsons, chairman of Time Warner, the newspaper said.

Now, let's get to a new press agent.
BTW..we shoudld start a pool to guess McClellan's LAST day as WH press secretary.
Translation: Bush agreed to replace Snow during his talks with Bolten.
I hope he discussed this with Snow ahead of time. I'd hate to for the poor old guy to be blindsided and read in the Washington Post that his job is in jeopardy.
That is something the Clinton administration used to do.
Gee appoint republicans who actually want to control spending and reduce deficits??? This guy is radical.
Fire McClellan!
The NY Slimes quoting phantom GOP sources again.
Prime evidence that "snags" novak was WRONG again!
LLS
And for a change, why not enforce immigration laws and secure the border for a change, or resign yourself.
Wow. Maybe we'll get someone capable of articulating Bush's message.
Why stop with Snow. How about hiring a real WH spokesmen FCOL?
An orangutan with a harmonica could present the administration's message more forcefully than John Snow.
How 'bout Jack Welch? Ben Stein ain't bad, though.
CWW :::::
Ditto
Hopefully that includes a new press secretary.
Snow can find a cushy landing in the UAE I'm sure.
If so, I hope it happens.
It has amazed me in an administration that includes among the Cabinet Condi, Rummy and other passionate conveyors of the administration's message that their Econmics team has continued to be a non entity. Sure, sound economic policies are important. So is selling the success of the economy. Can't we get a man/woman who can do both?
